Keeping Nuts Warm

29012010

So, I had planned on getting these projects out for the Olympic Torch relay events, but there were security guards everywhere and I thought that even if I got them out there, they’d be gone so fast it wouldn’t be worth it. So I waited a few days and I think they’ll have a longer life span.
Here’s the latest knit graffiti in Vernon; just a set of nut warmers. Bonus picture though – a little tree cozy (very blurry) with the Vernon Winter Carnival hot air balloons gearing up for competition at Polson Park in the background.

I’m almost done a big scarf for a banister on a staircase going into the the park from hwy 6. It’ll be purple and white stripes. Sound be cute. I just have to make a few more inches of length and then find the time to discreetly put it in place. It’s at a pretty busy intersection, but I figure, in Vernon, there shouldn’t be any traffic past 8:00 roughly? Not exactly tourist season. right now.

But I'd love to hear more ideas. I want to know who *YOU* think should be included and WHY! Send me your suggestions so I can immortalize your favourite Canadian in knitting.
